Kinda Tired

I've run that masterful marathon called life... 
I've learned, grown, laughed, and taken my bits of misery and strife

Oh! In the beginning, it's kinda funny when I think of all the energy I had
To reminisce of the strong legs, vibrant heart, and undying will to press on makes me so glad

The formidable hills, meandering roads, and rocky byways played their part. 
I knew I had to keep running, pushing, and digging down because my race wasn't finished I just felt it deep in my heart

I've sweated dutifully, and my body has ached graciously. Now I see no more road ahead. 
Kinda tired now; I've crawled, walked, and ran, but I never stopped
I'm at the finish line now; I just want to lay my weary head

Time to rest!
